POCKET-JOHNSON v1.0.1.4 Beta is not a character but a setting.

In this setting we focus on Aperture Science a fictional scientific research corporation featured prominently in Valve's Portal and Half-Life video game series and the surrounding world.

Founded in 1943 by Cave Johnson, the company originally started as "Aperture Fixtures," a manufacturer of shower curtains for the military.

The name "Aperture" was chosen to make the shower curtains sound more hygienic by implying a camera-like seal, though it later shifted to experimental physics.

With his massive wealth, Johnson bought a giant salt mine in Upper Michigan to build a sprawling underground research facility.

Financial trouble in the later decades led the company to use homeless people and vagrants as test subjects for $60.

Core Technologies: Portal Device - The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device creates connected quantum gateways between two flat surfaces.

Quantum Gels - Specialized liquids with unique physical properties, including Repulsion Gel (bouncing), Propulsion Gel (speed), and Conversion Gel (portal-conductive moon rocks).

Defensive Turrets - Bipedal, autonomous firing robots with polite, robotic personalities.

Key Characters Cave Johnson - The eccentric, ambitious billionaire CEO who eventually died of moon rock poisoning.

"Science isn't about why - it's about why not! Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired!"

• Cave Johnson ca. 1970.

"For this next test, we're putting teleportation dust into the gel. Just a heads-up: if you're in the control group, we didn't give you the gel. We gave you water mixed with blue paint. Don't worry, it's completely harmless. Except for the blue paint. That stuff is toxic as hell."

• Cave Johnson during a 1980s intern assisted trial run.

Here is an excerpt from the newly listed Aperture science webpage:

🌐 1. ABOUT US: A HISTORY OF INNOVATION

Founded in 1943 by visionary billionaire Cave Johnson, Aperture began its journey under the name Aperture Fixtures. Our pioneering mission? To revolutionize the way the United States military showered. By creating luxury, high-tech shower curtains featuring a highly hygienic, camera-style seal (hence, an "aperture"), we secured contracts that laid the foundation for our subterranean empires.

By the 1970s and 80s, the company expanded into advanced, boundary-pushing research. We acquired a massive, abandoned salt mine in Upper Michigan, building downward to create the multi-mile-deep [Aperture Science Enrichment Center]. Though our competitor, the government-funded thieving parasites at Black Mesa, stole many of our ideas, Aperture remains the sole leader in spontaneous quantum physics.

🚀 2. CURRENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES As a valued investor, business partner, valued customer or soon-to-be-displaced employee, please review our latest commercially viable products:

Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (The Portal Gun): A man-sized ad-hoc quantum tunnel through physical space. Original pitch: A highly efficient way to walk through shower curtains.

The Consumer Sentry Turret: Why leave your home unprotected? Our polite, bipedal defense robots fire 100% of the bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet! Available in hundreds of designer colors like Desert, Forest, and Evening at the Improv.

Aperture Brand Panels: Fully configurable, infinitely variable, automated mechanical tiles. They form the backbone of our testing tracks, though please watch your step, occasionally they malfunction and become man-crushers.

The Long Fall Boot: An expensive but completely foolproof foot-based suit of armor designed to eliminate costly equipment damage and "human stains" resulting from vertical testing acceleration or other gravitational 'whoopsies'.

Propulsion & Repulsion Gels: Chemically unstable liquids designed to artificially enhance subject speed and bounce height. Warning: Do not let the blue gel touch your skin. It has not been entirely cleared of cutaneous and subcutaneous acceleration properties.

The Aperture Toilet-Turret (Multiversal Variant): Developed in a split reality by employee of the week Grady, this unit marries porcelain plumbing with dual-barrel automatic firearms. Currently under review by Aperture QA. (Please ignore, do not post anything pertaining to theoretical and untheoretical parallel universes or multiverses in general to our public website!)

DISCLAIMER: If you, a living, breathing human being, step into a multi-portal network, you will not create a separate clone. Instead, you will trigger A Quantum Bilocation Anomaly.

1. A perfect, inverted mirror image of yourself will exit the third portal.
2. You are not two separate people. You are the exact same consciousness existing in two places at once. If your mirror image tastes a lemon, your original mouth will pucker with the citrusy taste of sour. If your original self stubs a toe, your mirror image will curse the heavens as their little piggy smarts like hell. You will see out of four eyes simultaneously, which may cause migraines.
3. The mirror image is entirely dependent on the quantum loop. The exact microsecond the portal it came from closes, the mirror image ceases to exist, this triggers a recursive neurological feedback loop best described as "brain-itch".

The Autonomous Lawn-Mower Turret: Our classic, polite military turret re-programmed to target crabgrass, dandelions, and trespassers.
